haha, you must guys be loving this, the siver winning american got dq'd, so instead lagat got a bronze in his last race probably

I don't give a damn whether it's Chelimo or Edris or Ahmed who takes a medal to be honest, but Lagat taking one at 41, 12 years after his last, is awesome

Another american grandpa winning a medal in an event that is 100% about endurance, just ridiculous. First Armstrong and now Lagat. If Deena Kastor would announce her comeback tomorrow, then i would immediately bet all my money on her winning the gold in womens marathon in 2020.

Yes, he is suspicious as hell, but Makhloufi isnt any better and the same is true for Willis. Its just impossible to enjoy track events if you care about clean and fair sport.

 

Even the slow races are suspicious?

It was 16 seconds slower than his PB. That's quite a bit in a 1500m!
